Rep Power: 0 is it worth fixing need body help
my friend got into an accident looking for some advice to see if its worth fixing it or not.i might take this off his hands and use as dd while im building my audi. its 05 civic i believe its a lx i know for sure it will need front bumper fender hood radiator support ac condensor maybe radiator headlights grill 1 engine mount didnt check suspension but still drives only the alignment was off. the only thing im really worried about is the frame being slighty bent... im no expert in body but do you guys this is worth fixing ? thanks for u help!

if you have the know how or just time to learn then sure but if your gona have a shop do it and pay for it then probably not. just off the top of my head with labor a shop at least where i live will charge you at best and this may be if hell freezes over will be over 3k and you could prob buy the car undamaged for about 5k just my $0.02. thats the prices for me localy anyway im sure its diff depending on where you live. O and 3k is with junkyard parts not new and not a real dealership just a "ma n pop" job

That car is destroyed... It probably needs a whole new front end minus the passanger fender and even that probably got chewed. You could fix it but it would be expensive.
